Bowers lost me when he said the Constitution was divinely inspired. Religious zealots give up their own power, own agency, and that of others, and turn everything over to a god they believe speaks to them. Not a big jump from that to membership in a cult.

Agreed. I had the same reaction, Gina. But at least, in his confused way, he has respect for the institutions of this country. Most of today’s Republicans have lost it completely, starting with the corrupt ex-Prez and R members of Congress.

How much does he respect women, I wonder. Anyone who respects a p-grabber and is into the "divine" has some loose screws. (not really a pun...).

Me too. Red lights began to light up and circle. And this guy also admitted he would vote for Trump AGAIN, if placed against Biden in 2024. WTF????

Mormons believe Jesus visited America before He rose again to consecrate what would be a new nation under His rule, and asked God to write the Constitution when that time was right. It’s been a while since I attended Mormon Sunday school for a very short while, but think that’s the basics. Slightly less bizarre to me than being marooned for all eternity on your own planet
